SARS will match and merge your registered details for tax, customs and excise that we have on our system. The merging of these records will create one consolidated profile. You will then be able to view and manage all your individual or company tax types and registered particulars in one consolidated view. Please note, none of your details will be changed. SARS will simply match and merge your records into one consolidated profile to make it easier for you to view and manage the profile.
This auto-merge process will affect individuals and companies who have multiple tax and customs registrations and whose profiles were not previously merged. The process will take place in batches over a period of six months.
This is how it will work:

A taxpayer’s eFiling access and permissions will not be affected during the merge process (login, submission of returns, payments and others). If a company profile has multiple representatives for the various tax types on record at SARS, the income tax representative will be listed as the main record (Active Representative) unless the records have previously been merged by a Representative at a SARS Branch or on eFiling. Other representatives will still have an active eFiling profile. They will still be able to submit returns and make payments. However, they will not be able to perform legal entity (sensitive) updates such as banking details or merges.
